Harumph!!

Play more ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery)

We don't need no steenkin graphics!!

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree completely. There are some games that get worse with each new installment, and a lot of new games have good graphics, with crappy music, storyline, and controls.

<font color="cyan">I totally disagree.

Games are getting better and better.

The Final Fantasy series, (1 through 9), their stories all rock. Theyr graphics are great for their time. They are amazing.

Moving over to the PS2, GTA3, graphics are neat, Gameplay is amazing.

I think games are getting better, and will do. Metal Gear Solid is another example, the Gameplay is amazin. Graphic's aint everything, I much prefer story. ALWAYS.</font>

AAA Lavendarth did you read all the posts? They said the same thing that the story and plot line are the most important thing and that graphic don't matter.
I believe the shift is from more people playing computer and counsole games and they just want a fansy movie that you can interact with, and like the most movies there is no real story only a superficial one to tie the action scenes together so all the shoter games and the like.

I think that some games will always be good, but games will continue getting more and more realistic and if you like realism then this means better and better (more realistic graphics, sound and physics).

However, some gameplay features stand the test of time, Civilization hasn't changed in its core functionality since the '91 original over 10 years ago. 3D shooters haven't changed much since Doom etc.

Yeah I agree, some sequels are better than the first(not very often though[except in Final Fantasy games]) but alot of games are getting short and its starting to feel like a rip off to buy them.
